They were promised a simple job. Now they’re fighting for their lives.

When a so-called “easy op” to protect business tycoon Drake Cryer on a shady deal goes horribly wrong, former Delta Force operative Shepherd and his top-notch partner Lucky are faced with a situation that’s quickly spiraling into chaos. The pair are catapulted into a deadly mission to escape the clutches of a vicious Russian warlord.

Forced to team up with the infamous Darcy Brothers—a legendary mercenary duo with an uncanny ability to cheat death—Shepherd and Lucky must push their skills to the brink if they want to get out alive.

But they’re stranded deep in hostile territory. With a sinister extortion plot hanging over the head of the CEO they swore to protect, Shepherd and his team will need to dance with the devil as they carry out a cunning plan to escape the country in one piece.

Death lurks around every corner, and there is no safety among wolves...

As the explosive sequel in the action-packed Shepherd and Fox thriller series, USA Today bestselling authors Brian Shea and Kristi Belcamino deliver a suspense-fueled thrill ride that’s perfect for fans of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, David Baldacci’s The Innocent, and Jack Carr’s The Terminal List.
